They are millionaires because they did something that drove them/motivated a lot, NOT because they were striving to become millionaires, at least not directly, in most cases. That's why most of you will never be ones, because you think that these people "work even when they are millionaires", well they does not work, they just have fun (in "leveling" at the millionaire club, or acquiring more power/respect/etc.. in some circles and so on..). ANd some are simply workaholics, they'll burn-out and crash one day..

I watched an interesting documentary a few years back on Charles Goodyear inventor of today's rubber. He was put in prison from debt collectors because of business's that failed. He was an eccentric who said something along the lines of he can't stop creating things that its a divine power that's pushing him. Really interesting stuff. If his rubber never came to be, he would have been looked at as a crazy man who failed. Such a fine line between genius and crazy.

having been with the same woman for 50 years, 48 of them in marriage. We are each still very independent.

Basically  you are just roommates.

Show what massive losers many people are in modern age.   People unwilling to learn any technology or business skills ever.  People who really do think the world owes them a living.  The worlkd was here first you wankers.   Men are not equal.   One man can prduce 100 time what another can. You deserve nothing for showing up.

Actually its the people that make it interesting but I understand your point. Now that shit has gone global, trying to keep up with the material aspect of things on a modest income is going to drive a lot of people bat shit crazy. Things are moving extremely fast.

Why imagine? It has been covered: this HBO documentary was made by one of the Johnson heirs (Band-Aids, etc.)

Nope. Amazingly, my wife and I are two independent people who have a huge amount of respect for each other and are still together because we love each other deeply and love being together. However, my mom and step dad were more like enemies who more or less agreed to stand-down. They were together for over 30 years until my stepfather died of lung cancer. Every relationship is different.

Always hard to tell what's going on with two people, my parents were married 43 years, and kept up a façade of being OK for years, but, the truth was, in the end, they fought all the time, resented one another deeply and no longer could stand the sight of each other, so they finally separated.  ironically, both my Mother and Fathers parents also separated after about 43 years of marriage.  It's great you find yourself in a good place after such a long marriage, kind of rare these days.

Americans are funny people, they don't realize when they are happy and keep pursuing "things" thinking that will make them happy.  "Things" can't make a person happy.

Lead a simple life and buy things if you need them, not to impress somebody.  Work hard and be honest, the harder I work, the luckier I am.

I don't care what you make, or what you have, it can all be taken away.  Then what...

This holiday season, join me in serving food at a homeless shelter, help someone.  Bring your family with you, if you have one.  Don't be self centered.

Take note of all the fat, lazy fucks there. If you want to condone and encourage their lack of ambition and drive then by all means do it. Don't feel the need to drag others into such a futile exercise.

I would, but in truth I hardly know you. I am just responding to your posts. For all I know, you could be full of shit. Maybe you are actually someone's loving husband and a caring father to a little brood of munchkins who spends all his free time taking care of other people's needs. Could be your really not some shallow materialistic son-of-a-bitch homophobe who spends all his waking hours cataloging his possessions like some modern King Midas. Who really knows?

One thing we know, is that you like to play hide the sausage with Leroy and Jamal down at the pier.

i am a son-of-a-bitch, but I'm not a homophobe. I also don't catalog my possessions. only poors and neurotics do that.

This seemed like a bit of a catalog to me. My mistake, I guess.

If you are truly not a homophobe, then I really don't understand your seeming obsession with whether other guys are gay or straight, but I am pleased to read that you are not one.
